title: Permutations with short monotone subsequences
keywords: Robinson-Schensted correspondence, Erdős-Szekeres theorem, limit shape
abstract: We consider permutations of
1,2,...,n
2
whose longest monotone subsequence is of length
n
and are therefore extremal for the Erdős-Szekeres Theorem. Such permutations correspond via the Robinson-Schensted correspondence to pairs of square
n× n
Young tableaux. We show that all the bumping sequences are constant and therefore these permutations have a simple description in terms of the pair of square tableaux. We deduce a limit shape result for the plot of values of the typical such permutation, which in particular implies that the first value taken by such a permutation is with high probability
(1+o(1))n

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.

Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
